Chapter 46

I cannot believe that Klaus is standing in my living room right now. I thought I would never have to see him after that day. We vowed that we would never speak of it and never tell Lucifer. 

Never.

And here he is, with a big smile on his face and a glimpse of recognition in his eyes.

I shoot up from the couch and wrap my arms around Lucifer, trying to hide my nervousness by acting like I've missed him.

'I missed you, bro.' I say while holding Lucifer.

'I missed you too...' He frowns when he looks into my eyes again.

I never say "bro".

'And you are?' I stick my hand out to Klaus.

'I'm Niklaus, nice to meet you. You can call me Nik or some people call me Klaus.' He winks.

I am the only one who called him Klaus because he reminded me of Niklaus Mikaelson from The Originals. The always angry, tormented, hot guy with a soft heart. 

I thought he was hot because he was always so mean to other people. He was also mean to me, but I kind of liked that back then.

Ugh, why did he have to come over today? The first time after a long time I visit this house and he shows up with Lucifer. I'm here with my boyfriend acting like I have never met Klaus before.

'My name is Elizabeth.' I sit down next to Shawn again.

My leg starts to move up and down nervously and Shawn puts his hand on my thigh to stop me.

'Don't you guys know each other?' Lucifer says. 'Nik and I used to do a lot of gaming together back in Scotland.'

'Oh yeah, I already thought you looked familiar.' I lie.

Shawn stands up and shakes Klaus' hand with a creepy big smile.

'My name is Shawn, I'm Beth's boyfriend.' He says.

I bite on the inside of my cheek. I hate my life. I hate it when Lucifer's friends fly over from Scotland to spend some time with him. And I hate it even more if his friends and I have a past together.

'Boyfriend huh.' Klaus looks at me. 'I thought Elizabeth didn't have boyfriends.' He gives me a fake smile, pronouncing the word "boyfriends" as if it's a dirty word.

'Or well, that's what she was known for back in the day... among other things.'

Nobody responds to that comment and it is silent in the living room until Sheila breaks the silence. 

Adriana cleans up her gaming stuff and we all sit around the big dining table. The dinner is awkward. Everyone keeps their mouth shut during the meal. Shawn and Sheila try to break the silence a couple of times, but they end up talking to each other, making it even more awkward for the rest.

'How was your vacation?' Adriana asks me and Shawn.

'It was great.' I say a little too loud.

'Where did you guys go?' Klaus asks.

'I took her on a road trip to Morocco and back. We stopped in Paris and Madrid along the way.' Shawn answers.

'Boyfriends, vacations... what else changed about you?' Klaus looks at me.

Why does he do this to me? I want to hide. I want to hide and I want to cry. 

Fuck.

He looks into my eyes with the fork in his hand. If only I could use that fork to shut him up.
